title: Quantifying image quality.
abstract: The measurement of image quality is an essential stage in the evaluation of imaging techniques. Yet there is no accepted way of quantitatively assessing image quality. Current theories suggest that the quality of the raw data acquired by the device can be assessed independently from that of the displayed image. In this paper the various experimental techniques suitable for making psychometric measurements of displayed image quality are discussed.
